MultiTasking

It is quite possible that some Readers are superior MultiTaskers, capable of doing several things at once, each of them capably. My suggestion is, however, if you are playing a game of chess against Bill Wall, it would be a good idea to give it your complete attention, even if he is playing the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) against you. Otherwise, you could wind up having to explain a few things...

Wall,B - Tanha
blitz 10 0 Chess.com, 2011

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+


4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6


7.Qd5+ Ke8 8.Qxc5 c6  


I was astonished to find only one game in The Database with this position, perrypawnpusher - Gary_Seven, JG3 Thematic Chess.World, 2008 (1-0, 35).

9.0-0 Nf6 10.e5 Ne4

KnightShade to place in the third race at Pimlico...

Black starts horsing around. It does not lose the game, but it does forfeit whatever advantage he had.

11.Qe3 Ng5 12.f4 Nf7 13.f5 Nh4


Okay, this will give White the advantage.

14.g3 Nxf5 15.Rxf5 Qb6 16.d4 g6 17.Rf6 Kd8?


What? A new fender is going to cost how much??

18.Rxf7 Kc7 19.e6 Qb4 20.Qe5+ Kb6 21.Bd2 Qxb2??

Our Anniversary is today??

22.Qa5 checkmate

On the other hand, maybe Tanha was paying attention, maybe he was just having a bad day...
